The Chiaroscuro Anthology, 11/19

Chronos’ paradox
By Lee-Anne Ford

You look young for your age
I feel old

Your appointment’s at 1pm
Work backwards to waking

He’s 29, so what?
He makes sense that boys my age don’t

What time is it?
What day is it?

Oh no, what did I forget?
Bulk order of sticky notes
Ten hours later
Am I hungry?

Let me sleep.

Want the whole Anthology? It’s here.
